Having grown up reading books of various genres and being influenced by them, I have always endeavoured to inspire, motivate and encourage others through my writing and stories.

It has impacted not just those from the legal background but also others, the stories narrated therein have also touched the human chord of my readers."

A writer who is fond of travelling and is a foodie, we asked her about her favourite vacation and food; she quickly mentions Seychelles, my honeymoon destination was a beautiful experience. Leh-the land of mesmerising mountains is another place that made me realise the true unexplored beauty of India.
'Leh' is a place I want to visit again and again. I don't just eat to live, I live to eat as well! My favourite food would be Malai Kofta, Butter Naan & Pav Bhaji which is something I can even eat every day!!
When The Crazy Tales team, asked her if she had any crazy or influential incident which brought a change in her & would like to share with us, she replied, During one of the Mind Rocks Youth Summit organised by India Today, held in New Delhi a few years ago, I got to meet Chetan Bhagat for a brief period since he was one of the Guest Speakers. I shared with him the fact that I am a budding Author and he advised me to start writing short stories. It was a great influence and in fact, my debut book is a collection of 6 short stories itself. He may not even remember this incident but it left a deep impact on my life."
